Quick Description: This Coos County Park, as largely undeveloped but has a nice day-use picnic area, near the Coquille River between Coquille and Bandon at a location near where Judah Parker founded a town called Parkersburg in 1876.

In the year 1874 on this and adjoining
property Captain Judah Parker and
partners built and operated the first
steam sawmill and steam tug on the
Coquille River. A year later Captain
Parker, with the assistance of the
settlers and farmers diverted the
entrance of the Coquille River, thus
performing the first harbor work
of the Pacific Coast. This opened
the Coquille River Valley to ocean
going traffic. His foresight was
such that the entrance essentially
remains today as originally conceived.
